I would like my elected representatives to step up and address our concerns by stopping this project immediately.”

“Hello, my name is _____, and I’m calling to urge Jessica McDonald to stop construction on the Site C dam and respect the rights of the Treaty 8 First Nations. Our protest continues, and BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald has a responsibility to the people of BC to listen to and address our concerns.”
